A&R (ARTISTS & REPERTOIRE)
"Artists and
Repertoire" (colloquially abbreviated to
A&R) is the division of a record label or
music publishing company that is responsible
for talent scouting and overseeing the
artistic development of recording artists
(singers, instrumentalists, bands, and so
on) and songwriters. It also acts as a
liaison between artists and the record label
or publishing company; every activity
involving artists to the point of album
release is generally considered under the
purview, and responsibility, of A&R.
The A&R division of a record label is
responsible for finding new recording
artists and bringing those artists to the
record company (...). An A&R executive is
authorized to offer a record contract, often
in the form of a "deal memo": a short
informal document that establishes a
business relationship between the recording
artist and the record company.

OVERSEEING THE RECORDING
PROCESS
The A&R division
of a record label oversees the music style
and recording process. This includes helping
the artist to find the right record
producer, scheduling time in a recording
studio and advising the artist on all
aspects of making a high-quality recording.
They work with the artist to choose the best
songs (i.e., repertoire) to record. For
artists who do not write their own music,
the A&R person will assist in finding songs,
songwriters, and arrangers. A&R staff will
help find session musicians for the
recording. A&R executives maintain contact
with their counterparts at music publishing
companies to get new songs and material from
songwriters and producers.
As the record nears completion, the A&R
department works closely with the artist to
determine whether the record is acceptable
to the record company. This process may
include suggesting that new songs need to be
written, that existing songs need a new
arrangement, or that some album tracks need
to be re-recorded. A key issue is whether
the album has a single: a particular track
which can be used to market the record.

ASSISTING WITH MARKETING AND PROMOTION
Once the record is
completed, the A&R department consults with
marketing, promotion, the artist and their
management to choose one or more singles to
help promote the record. |
